Ticked off! @concert behavior

May 30, 2013|Ticked Off!, Diversions

If I live to be 190 years old, I will never comprehend why someone would buy a concert ticket and then when the performer is on stage in front of them, spend the next few hours texting, taking pictures of themselves, talking loudly, and jumping around in their seats like unsocialized four-year olds with no appreciation for the artist. Never mind those poor souls stuck in nearby seats who actually want to experience a live performance without fools spoiling the show. Seems to me that until normal people just stop buying concert tickets, this torture will only get worse.

To the co-worker who always is sticking her nose in other people's business: Back off and mind your own business. You think you know everything; you don't. Get your facts straight before you start passing rumors around and gossiping. You don't know what that person is going through. How would you like to be in their shoes?

Now with school out, there are a lot of reckless young drivers. I have had three close calls in the last week. During spring break it was five. Slow down, stop talking on your phone and texting and pay attention!

The flip side

A very grateful grandmother would like to thank the front office staff at a middle school for always being so helpful, courteous, and understanding. It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the very nice lady, who called her husband back to walk an older lady to her car under his umbrella. It was such a blessing. May they both have a wonderful life together.
